I'm getting the feeling I'm not alone in this, authoring and

wiki page isn't as used to be for long time.
I want to suggest a bit lighter workflow:
1. Everyone can merge their page - (it's a wiki)
Same as with (public and open) code, no one has the motivation to
publish a badly written
wiki page under their name. True, it can have an impact, but not as with
broken code
+1.
Moreover, I think we shouldn't block any merging. Instead, wiki
maintainers
could act afterwards and revert when needed (Wikipedia style). Another
issue is that (sadly) unlike mediawiki, we need to wait for wiki publish
after a change. So I'd suggest to build and publish the wiki at least once
a day. Any way, I think we should make the workflow much more intuitive and
pleasant like the previous wiki - i.e. much less restrictive than
manipulating a code base.
2. Use Page-Status marker
The author first merges the draft. Its now out there and should be
updated as time goes and its
status is DRAFT. Maintainers will come later and after review would
change the status to
PUBLISH. That could be a header in on the page:
---
page status: DRAFT/PUBLISH
---
Simple I think, and should work.
